So $DIS is looking to spend out the end of the quarter to start next year with better numbers......

He needed the shower to freshen up to go out on the town, he was sleeping there, other people were sleeping there (although I'm sure if any such gossip was true, that was Eisner! no imputations to Iger's clean living ) Chapek is the straitlaced country mouse.Doesn't make sense.

I'd roll my eyes if it was an option.The end of Disney is upon us
This sounds like someone trying to argue for more trade in value for an old car.More details from THR - the September 30 date is just an initial deadline.
"Roberts reported that Sept. 30 will mark an initial deadline to set in motion Disney using a put option that would require the studio that owns the remaining two-thirds in Hulu to take over its minority stake. “As of Sept. 30, after some short period of time, Disney can call, we can put, and I believe that’s what will end up happening,” Roberts told the Goldman Sachs Communcacopia + Technology Conference during a session that was webcast about the Disney-Charter carriage dispute.
He also talked about the valuation for the Hulu stake, which would likely have a floor of just under $30 billion. “I think we are excited to get this resolved and the minimum of $27.5 billion, that was just a hypothetical we picked out five years. The company is way more valuable today than it was then,” Roberts said, while arguing Hulu and Netflix are “in a class by themselves.”
He added the put call to be triggered around 30 days after the start gun is fired on Sept. 30, but that both parties were appraising the value of the Hulu stake and more possible suitors may step forward. “That’s a scarce kingmaker asset,” Roberts said of the Hulu stake set to go up for auction."

Brian Roberts also said Disney will likely soon use a put option to take over NBCUniversal’s minority stake in Hulu after a sales process starting Sept. 30.www.hollywoodreporter.com
And do you know why it’s that?This is the fiscal year of crap. Next two years should be interesting.
I would too…I'd roll my eyes if it was an option.
I don't even think it's about saving that particular body part. A sale to Apple would preserve the company with certain values that Iger probably does genuinely feel strongly about. Keep it out of the grubby hands of DeSantis types. (I'm sure it'll do wonders for Iger's personal fortune as well, but nobler purposes and all that!)I would too…
…if I could convince myself to unequivocally dismiss the idea that Bob is trying it to sell it no matter the cost in an effort to save his ego and the body part located half between his hairline and his toes on the posterior side
…but that wouldn’t be a wise idea
This was the inspiration for the Journey of Water!Doesn't make sense. Iger does wake up early then works out 45 min on his home gym Versa climber ( not for the faint of heart ) then the article says he then showers in his office ? After 45 min of any cardio you would be drenched in sweat.
It sounds like Roberts still has Bobby's number and knows where his buttons areThis sounds like someone trying to argue for more trade in value for an old car.
He’s so much smarter/better than the weatherman…I was reminded of that reading it.It sounds like Roberts still has Bobby's number and knows where his buttons are
Definitely uses executive bathroom to shave. Haven't seen a pic of Iger with a mustache or beard. Iger using the Mickey soap from the resorts?He needed the shower to freshen up to go out on the town, he was sleeping there, other people were sleeping there (although I'm sure if any such gossip was true, that was Eisner! no imputations to Iger's clean living ) Chapek is the straitlaced country mouse.
Source of that?For those that keep clamoring D+ is going to reach profitability by 2024, here’s a few buckets of cold water on that proposition (presumably by someone in the know, perhaps Chapek or Daniel):

As mentioned above:Another data point on the D+ stuff- this seems like a need to juice the subscriber numbers over the next few months.
It’s a little odd the D+ division is giving away this content for free they’re paying the other side of the house roughly $200M over the next week (TLM and Elemental streaming rights payoff) but things must be desperate.
Disney+ Slashes Price for a Few Weeks In Promo Effort to Boost Ad-Supported Subscribers
Disney will offer Disney+ for $1.99 per month as it prepares to debut 'Elemental' on Sept. 13 and the live-action 'Little Mermaid' on its streaming service.www.hollywoodreporter.com
You know that for 100 years movies were discounted for matinees, right?Sacrificing 100 years of Hollywood business strategy in order to force streaming numbers. Maybe they should call D+ Iger’s folly.
Technically, Netflix had always been ahead. Profit-wise and subs. But among all the other non-Netflix streamers, Disney has caught up the most, especially if you add in ESPN+ and hulu.And, seeing how Netflix leapfrogged them,
